For example (the test I made): There is no ttyp0 in /dev/. Now login through SSH on your FBSD 5.0 machine. You'll see 2 new devices in /dev/ that are needed for the SSH session apparently. You cant try by doing cd /dev/ ls -l | wc -l *ssh the machine ls -l | wc -l you'll see there are more devices. Now for your USB mouse, I assume that if the kernel reconize it (dmesg | grep ums) it should be created in /dev/. Double check dmesg to be sure it's in there.

devfs in 5.0
I am sorry to bother you all with this, but I fundamentally don't understand the new devfs system in 5.0. I am trying to get a usb mouse working -- under 4.x I would do cd /dev ./MAKEDEV usm0 and it would work! Now it says that I don't have to, that it should already be there. But of course it isn't. So now what do I do? The fancy automatic system isn't working, or more likely I'm not using it correctly. Is there a good, long, thorough, technical discussion with examples of how to get new devices into /dev with devfs out there somewhere?
